(PRESS RELEASE) -- Atlantic City, NJ – Once again, Charlie
Brenneman is scheduled to fight Kyle Baker on
Saturday, October 26, 2013, for the Cage Fury Fighting
Championships’ (CFFC) vacant lightweight title at the Borgata Hotel
Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey. These two were set
to do battle this past August, but Baker had to withdraw due to an
injury. To make matters worse, Baker’s replacement, Ronnie
Rogers, fell ill after making weight at the weigh-ins and was
not medically cleared to fight.

Brenneman was left without his title shot and needles to say, was
very disappointed. “At this point in my career, I've come to expect
the unexpected on a regular basis,” said the UFC veteran. “Anger,
frustration; all of these emotions came into play”. CFFC President,
Rob Haydak and Brenneman’s manager, Mike
Constantino mutually agreed upon a release for him to pursue
other avenues for his career.

“I had several offers from different organizations, some big and
some small,” continued Brenneman. “As a fighter, I have a certain
self-worth. For all the sacrifices I put into this sport, it has to
make sense in every area, including financially. At the end of the
day, I did what is best for my family, myself, and my long term
career goals”.

Brenneman decided that signing another multi-fight deal with CFFC
was his best opportunity. “We know Charlie and his management had
their choice of organizations to sign with,” said Haydak. “We take
great pride in the fact that they’ll call CFFC home for the
foreseeable future. Charlie is one of the top lightweights in the
world and we’re excited to have him back with our organization”

When asked to talk about his opponent, Brenneman joked, “I'm just
hoping a guy shows up to fight me on October 26. My Halloween
costume this year is the CFFC Lightweight Champ, so I better win
this fight. The “Spaniard” defeats “Mustachio” by submission.”

At CFFC, we’re not after guys that leave the UFC,” said Haydak.
“That’s simply not our business model. It’s the other way around,
we want to send guys there. When I heard Charlie was dropping to
155, it was clear that he wasn’t settling on the fact that he use
to fight for the UFC. He truly wants to get back there. CFFC will
line up tough fights over the coming year to help him make his
case.”
